Karin Knapp still has to wait for her first double tournament victory

At the end of an extremely even game, the two Italians lost to the Belgian-Dutch duo of Ysaline Bonaventure and Demi Schuurs 5:7, 6:4 and 10:6 in the super tiebreak.

The two teams fought a duel on equal terms for exactly 92 minutes of play, in which little things decided between victory and defeat. In the first set, Knapp and Barbieri suffered a loss of serve when the score was 5:5, but they took revenge with a decisive break in the second round. In the super tiebreak, Bonaventure and Schuurs finally broke away.

Knapp remains without a double tournament victory in her career on the WTA tour. The one in Katowice was the third defeat in the third final. In the second-class ITF circus, the 27-year-old Luttacher now has six tournament victories in doubles competition.
